SOUTH WEST REGIONAL TRAINING EVENT

SATURDAY 25 AND SUNDAY 26 APRIL 2020
INTER GROUP TRAINING EVENT
COMMENCING AT
LONG SUTTON VILLAGE HALL
NEAR LANGPORT, SOMERSET

 Full members only please

Last year many BWAM members attended a day or both days for various reasons to enhance their motorcycling goals and benefited substantially from the help of highly experienced and qualified observers from the IAM Roadsmart groups in the South West (including BWAM).

Peter Herridge, Examiner and Inter Group Training team organiser says:

"Dear Motorcycling Colleagues
 
The IAM RoadSmart Region 1 Inter Group Training Team will, again, be offering peer-to-peer training to members of groups across the region.
 
Trainers will generally work on a ratio of one trainer to two attendees.  Subjects are only limited by the imagination (within the overarching theme of motorcycling) but we would typically be working in areas such as:
 
Local Observer training and assessment (including signing off training logs):
National Observer preparation
Observer development
Radio Training
Masters Taster Ride or Training
Pre-test Check Rides
Ongoing Riding Review
Slow Speed Handling   
Pillion riding.
 
 
The venue will be Long Sutton Village Hall, Long Sutton, Near Langport, Somerset TA10 9NT.  The events run from 08:30 until 15:45
 
Places can be booked on either or both days.  If you would like to reserve a place then please email Peter Herridge directly at peterherridge@me.com by Friday 28th February 2020.
 
The cost is £30 per person per day, refreshments, including a breakfast roll and hot lunch will be provided.  As we will need to commit to catering we will request payment in March; details will be sent to individuals.
 
Hope to see you there,"
 
Peter

Members’ Ride Check (MRC)  - 09:30hrs, Forest Inn, Forest Links Rd, Ferndown, BH22 9PH (next to Ferndown Police Station)

MRC sessions are offered monthly to any BWAM Member who would like to know if their present form would meet or exceed the IAM-RoadSmart Advanced Riding Standard. Much like the pre-test that was conducted prior to passing your IAM test, the Observer will once again give you a detailed de-brief of the session followed by a written report, including an action plan of what to practise and/or where to go from here. To book, please email nigel.williams14@outlook.com (ie by replying directly to this email) by 11pm on 6 December in order for observers to be easily arranged for you.

Conditions are as follows:-

• You must be a current ‘paid-up’ BWAM and IAM Roadsmart Member (No exceptions).
• You will be asked to sign a disclaimer confirming that you are legal to be on the road.  
• You will be expected to make a £10 contribution towards the Observers fuel cost.
• You will be expected to possess the latest edition of Police Motorcycle Roadcraft.

To help me pair you with the right Observer, please provide the following information:-

1. Your name
2. How many ‘years-months’ have you held full IAM Roadsmart Membership?
3. Do you hold any of the following FELLOW/F1RST/MASTERS?
4. Who was your Observer or Group Name if you were observed by another IAM Roadsmart Group?
5. Session subject choice:- Roadcraft topic(s), General assessment, F1RST Register potential, Masters potential.

This month’s MRC starts at :-

09:30hrs, Forest Inn, Forest Links Rd, Ferndown, BH22 9PH. (next to Ferndown Police Station).

Please note:- If you are simply wanting to get some quality miles under your belt (which can only be good) then I would encourage you to turn up at Forest Inn on any Saturday morning and make yourself known.

M: 07801 150200

We look forward to seeing you at our usual venue, Cobham Sports and Social Club, Merley, BH21 3DA starting at 7.30pm.

Full members only please.

Jez Graves has kindly agreed to lead the BWAM May Breakfast Ride Out and says;-

The format is an 8.30 leave, no more than a couple of hours riding, breakfast and then a reasonably direct route back home. We aim to be done by 1pm at the latest so that we can still get all of the exciting DIY done and we don't use all our brownie points up before the week's even started.
Next Sunday we will be heading to west Dorset somewhere, leaving Forest Inn at 8.30.
Briefing will be at 8.15 - if you could let me know your intention to attend a week before,  I can give the cafe a rough idea of numbers.
